Thanks for stopping by my Patreon! My name is Anne Lee, aka apricotsushi, and for 7 years I've written about all things cute and nerdy from Japan at the blog Chic Pixel. I also do Youtube videos that range from figure unboxings to Japanese snack tastings, post daily cute photos to my Instagram account, and support myself through Japanese to English translation and writing freelance articles on video games for sites such as Waypoint, Anime News Network, and IGN . Oh yeah, and I also have a PhD in Japanese popular culture, and wrote my thesis on boys' love manga! Pretty neat, huh?

Whether its video games, anime, manga, or cute merchandise, the primary unifying aspect of everything I do is my love for Japanese popular culture.

Freelance work is wonderful because you can work from home and make your own schedule, but it's not always reliable. By starting this Patreon, I hope to have more time to dedicate to my website, YouTube channel, and other creative endeavors without constantly having to worry about the freelance hustle. My content will always be available for free, but by pledging to my Patreon, you can gain access to behind-the-scenes updates and much more! Here are examples of just some of the exclusive content I'll be offering to patrons:

sneak peaks of what I'm working on, from blog posts to translations

tips and info on working in games localization and freelance writing

advice on learning Japanese and pursuing geeky graduate degrees

chances to vote on upcoming content

If that sounds like fun, check out the different pledge tiers I have available to get some awesome rewards and become a member of a really awesome community! There are reward tiers starting at $1 per month and you can cancel your pledge any time.

Thank you so much for reading this! ありがとう！
